The launch of highly anticipated medieval building game Manor Lords is still pretty recent, giving audiences a great outlet for constructing and managing communities from a bygone time. Still, as games like Crusader Kings 3, Age of Empires 2, Northgard, For Honor, and Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord show, there’s always an appetite for further projects set in a digital recreation of the past. This makes Norland, a kingdom building and management simulator inspired by Rimworld, a compelling prospect, and its launch today in Early Access worthy of attention.
